Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish steak (such as swordfish, tuna, or salmon)
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to the marinade. Mix well.
Place the fish steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to permeate the fish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated fish steaks on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the fish steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled fish steaks with a lemon wedge on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Enjoy your healthy Mediterranean meal!
